Just 3 weeks left before the challenge

So 3 weeks today and about now I will be boarding a plane for China. Amazing how quickly 300 days fly by, I am sure it was only a few weeks ago I signed up for this... 😱

Fitness training for the challenge

Well it is still happening, I am happyish with legs they have managed to handle what I have thrown at them, whether that is anything close to enough I shall know in 4 weeks. This week I attempted to climb the Gross Piton in St Lucia, got half way and called it. The heat and the size of the volcanic boulders to climb over where not what I expected at all. The legs and heart rate coped though which is encouraging and thankfully the Great Wall of China has steps that my short legs will be able to get up.

Awareness of the trip 

The local newspaper, the LEP did a great article on my trip and Derian House. Shame it didn't generate any donations though. 😞

Also, Totally Wicked will be featuring my trip in their next vaping magazine, so you never know.

Fundraising update

As I have said before this is much harder than I ever thought it would be. In addition to general donations, I am arranging a dress down day at work and a race night for when I get back to help raise funds. I thought I knew enough people that would make this quite easy with small sums, how wrong was I.
